Sterling Elliott

"Soloist Elliott put a fresh, new statement on modern love with Schumann’s Concerto in A minor for Violin, Cello and Orchestra...The effect was aphoristic and modern. High romance and sentiment were refined into clean, bright phrasing and clear rubato."

Programme

Amy Beach - Dreaming / from: Four Sketches, Op. 15
